ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved routing arrangement for a cable that electrically connects the lid to the base of a notebook computer. The invention routes the cable along a hollow interior of a hinge mechanism. This invention has three aspects. First, the hinge mechanism allows an electrical cable, connecting the lid to the base, to traverse a large fraction of the entire hinge length. This reduces the stress put on the cable by flexing and twisting because the stress can now be distributed over a larger segment of the cable. Second, the hinge mechanism allows the cable to enter the lid portion from the hinge mechanism at the middle of the notebook computer. This reduces the weakening caused to the hinge and the lid in accommodating the cable. Lastly, hinge mechanism consists of few parts, allowing for a simple and inexpensive manufacturing and assembly process.
